Ebola is now in the United States

Ebola is now in the United States. There is very little
happening to prevent its spread to the general population. So what is the
average person to do?

First of all we need to remember that Ebola is a virus.
Antibiotics are not going to do anything. We have to look at ways to combat
viruses. Secondly it is spread like a virus. The news says it is only with
contact with body fluids of an infected person. What we forget is that viruses
can linger on surfaces for a long time before they die. This means tables,
doors, bathroom faucets, countertops. If a sick person sneezes in a room all
the surfaces in the room now have a coating of virus on them. This includes the
clothing of anyone in the room. They leave that room they take that virus with
them.

Unless we are able to move our families out into the boonies
where we never have to come in contact with another human being there is no
sure fire way to prevent exposure.

Our first defense is a strong immune system.If your family catches every illness that
comes around that is a pretty good indication that the family members have weak
immune systems. There are several things that we need to have strong immunesystems.

·Hydration! We each need half our body weight in
ounces per day. Anything less and we weaken our immune systems.

·Eat your vegetables! Organic, raw foods are
great for strengthening the immune system.

·Exercise! Even gentle movement helps!

Our second area of defense is cleanliness. The
anti-bacterial soaps are not going to do any good, and may even lower the
immune system. Most of the bacteria in and on our bodies are beneficial. When
we kill all bacteria we kill the good ones as well. We need to find ways to
kill the virus rather than bacteria.One
way to do it is to wash your hands with warm water in the bathroom, then
outside the bathroom door spray your hands with a diluted form of colloidal silver. Then rub them together and let them air dry. This will kill the
majority of viruses. It may not take care of a full-fledged infection, but then
again it just might. Nobody has done any research on it. Shipments of colloidal
silver have been turned back, which doesn’t make sense to the majority of us.
If it isn’t going to do any harm why not give it a try?

Vitamin C is another way to fight viruses. There are
different forms of it, so look for a high potency natural product. I keep some
wild rose hips on hand for emergency use.

Can we depend on the government to protect us? So far they
aren’t doing a very good job.

Can we depend on big pharma to protect us? So far they seem
to be chasing their tails.

Can we depend on ourselves? As long as we use common sense
and keep things in perspective it is the best plan out there, but we have to
start now. We need to prepare to isolate ourselves from the rest of the world
if someone in our family becomes ill. This means having some high quality food
in the house, enough to last for weeks or more. It also means having protective
gear on hand so that we can clean up after a sick person without exposing other
family members or the garbage man. Will the sewage treatment plant be able to
clean the water flushed down the toilet, or will that just spread it to the
municipal water sources? Those boonies are looking better and better.
